BEAUFORT PUBLIC SCHOOL 1 


To the Patrons of the Graded School. I wish to 
thank the people of Reaufort for the hearty support 
that they. have given me in my efforts for the past 
two years in putting the Graded School on a Lasis 
Where if would be a credit to the town. The ©chcol 
has made wonderful strides in many ways, and 
this could not have been done had it not becn for . 
the loyal support given me by the patrons. 

We go into our new building this Fall, with many 
things to look forward to, and yet with many diff- 
culties to over come, and we still need the hearty 
co-operation of parents and citizens. We have a 
building that we are proud of. We want te co all 
in our power to keep it in tact. We are going to do 
work in that building that ts second to nene, and we 
want the people of Beaufort to feel that itis their 
school, and that it is their privilege and duty to 
Visit the school at any time. Show ycur children that 
you are interested in them and their work, and 
vou will find that it will cause them to do better 
work, 

We will organize a Betterment Association the 
first day of School, and we hope all the parents will 
join. Its purpose will be to beautify the grounds 
and building, to improve the moral, social, and 
Mental condition of the children.

eard will be given each child to be carried home, and 
to be signed by the PARENT, and at the close of 
the term this will be given the child to keep, with 
their promotion init. This will serve as an entrance

we will have to look up the records.

ten test or examination, or who refuses to take the

written examination or take the test at a later date, 
In cases where the pupils present no excuse, the 
parent or guardian, shall be notified of that fact, 
and at the same time, a repetition of this offense 
will render the pupil liable to suspension: 

Unexcused absences and tardies shall count zero
